Re: Shift + delete

I don't understand your sentence:
>> kill-region command works with shift and
>> insert pasting it again

I have emacs, not xemacs, so your results may be slightly different...

c-h
gives you help (may also be tied to F1).
That may give you a list of second characters to give you more detailed
help.

so:
c-h c-h     provides a list of help choices.
c-h a allows you to specify a few letters of a cmd, and see relevant cmds.
c-h k asks for a keystroke (e.g., if you hit "control-k" [i.e., c-k], it
shows kill-line).
c-h c-k     asks for a keystroke, then looks it up in the manual (more
complete
      than what [c-h k] would show).

For the most part, emacs help is pretty amazing - almost all of it is
online as part of emacs, and better yet, most of it (that I've seen) is
pretty comprehensible and clearly presented.

You should also explore Help in the menu. 3 minutes right now can save you
big time down the road.
You can use x/emacs as if it were nothing more than Notepad, but that's
like renting the whole Empire State Building, then living alone there.

kill-region command works with shift and insert pasting it again

It happens in all files text, C and Java ones

How do I find what functions are bound to which keys?
